I. INTRODUCTION The space, room and the building where various types of materials, semi-finished, finished goods and items purchased and manufactured in the organization are kept temporarily or for sufficient time till they are removed to supply for production and sale or used for consumption is called a Store or Warehouse. Finished parts or products ready for shipment and sale are called stock and they are separately stored in a place called stock room. Each and every type of material needs a separate place, bin or container and a room to keep it and the type of store depends upon the type of material which is stored there. The part of material enters directly at the production facility after its purchase and rest is supplied to the stores. The part coming out from production facility, some of them enters the production center or facility and rest are stored. In the same way, components produced at some facility are sent to assembly center and rest are stored. Finally, the output is the final product sent to stock or sell. This process of supplying and storing the various materials and parts is called Stores Management. As per the demand and requirement of materials at the production facility, the materials are supplied from the stores. The storage of materials maintains the continuity in production. II. Objective of the Study 1. To study the store management practices in engineering manufacturing firm. 2. To find the effectiveness of inventory techniques with regard to supply of

materials. 3. To study the material handling technique in the organization. 4. To study material inward and outward process in store.

III. Scope of the Study 1. The study is only limited to engineering manufacturing

firm situated in Satara district. 2. The study mainly focuses on store management

practices in motor manufacturing industry.

IV. Research Methodology In this study, primary as well as secondary sources of data have been used. A. Primary Data: -

Primary data refers to the data collected from primary sources i.e. the data collected by the investigation and observation primary data is also called as original data. since, it is collected for the first time by a person, who is going to use them. The researcher has collected the primary data through discussion with respective officers and employees.

B. Secondary Data: - The secondary data is already available in a published from research work in the process has been done

through collection of data from the staff members of the company / organization. The secondary data is collected through different report & document of the Company.

Sample Design: - he most of the industries are mainly produces electric motors and water pumps. The researcher has collected the data about the material requirement of these products and inward and outward process of these products.

V. Literature Review 1. Automated store ordering has been offered as a

potential solution to many store level problems: Automation could improve availability, decrease inventories, and reduce the time and labor required for ordering. However, despite the potential advantages, it seems that the majority of retailers have only just started to implement automated ordering systems at store level. Furthermore, very little published information can be found on store level processes, not to mention automated store ordering. Therefore, well-

documented research on how and if conventional inventory management practices can be applied at store level operations should be extremely engrossing both from academic and business viewpoints. (Source-thesis efficient store Ordering-Carl falck)

2. Inventory management - The word ‘inventory’ has been defined in many ways, as indicated in the literature. Three definitions have been chosen seem to be more appropriate to the topic developed in this dissertation. “inventories are stockpiles of raw materials, suppliers, components, work in process, and finished goods that appear at numerous points throughout a firms production and logistic channel” ( ballou 2004)

3. According to chase, Jacobs and aquilano (2004),

inventory is the stock of any item or resource used in an organization. An inventory system is the set of policies and controls that monitor levels of inventory and determine what levels should be maintained, when stock should be replenished, and how large order should be.

4. It all starts with a suitable lay out design of stores.

Depending upon the nature of items used for processing by the organization the lay out and type of stores are selected. For example, a process that requires use of raw materials, not costly enough, an open and nearby stores with truck / rail inside movement possibility Once the material has been received and cleared through inspection and accepted for use, it needs safe custody till it's actually used. It calls for a separate physical storage space, open or closed, as per need. It maintains all documents that are able to trace an item, show all its details and preserve it up to its shelf life in the manner prescribed or till it is issued for use. (lucay 2003)

VII. Findings 1. It is observed that producing largely water pumps and

electric motors in the company. 2. It is observed that water pumps are the highest

production at the company. 3. It is observed that the company using advanced material

handling equipment in store. 4. Store department and other department are fully

integrated with each other. 5. Security, safety and wastage of material is very low at

company. 6. The company is using ERP system for their effective

working. VIII. Conclusion Store department of kpml is using advanced material equipment. Advanced ERP system has reduced lots paper work in kpml. SAP system has improved the effective material inward and outward process in kpml. The store manager is able to know the in stock material with the help of kpml. A sap system provides information related to the suppliers of firm and excise duties of each material References: - [1] K. Ahwatthappa – Production & Operations
